A Shimmer in the Darkest Sea

Once I noticed a shimmer in the darkest sea
I would hold my breath and dive so deep
A light I did find that will ever shine for me
Locked it up inside, made it mine
Kept it hidden from the world
Hold on tight, don’t let go
Below the mountain spur
The darkest light for no one else to see
But it shall ever shine for me
My hands are cold
My soul, it feeds on failure and catastrophe
My silence sings an endless song
It weeps until the morning comes
Let water run, let water sow
And gently hollow out the stone
Let silence be an endless sea
Forever let go of me
How come I’m always ending where I started so long ago?
And will there ever, ever be a waking up?
The more things change, the more they stay the same
